Indian grocery store near UAB. You get amazing Dosa batter here - Madurai Dosa batter. Also, coconut chutney for Dosa. You get all masala, spices, veggies and other necessary groceries. I recommend this store.

This is one of the Best Store in Town. A great place to find Authentic goods, Fresh groceries in very reasonable price. the staff are very helpful and kind .So satisfied with their service as well as the store is super clean. Highly recommended!!

You can find almost all Indian grocery here at a higher price but the location is convenient who live near UAB and dont own a car. The shop owners are always nice to you. They also keep frozen fish and meat but be careful before you buy them. I believe those are historic items and close to be declared as fossils. Jokes apart, everything else you can buy from them but not frozen fish/meats.

Im giving 1 star for being -criminally overrated ] they are just a glorified convenience store and grocery standby ( i can give 4 stars for that ) that carry a smattering of ethnic labels like Asian, Indian and even traditional African and Caribbean and very convenient for foreign Univ Students living in walking distance maybe but labeling themselves as as an Indian Grocery is way too big a lie to give them anything more than 1.5 star.

Interesting variety of groceries and vegetables - Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian,. Nepalese. The owners have curated just the right thing g to keep. It is fun walking around the store, browsing. I always end up with a new interesting dinner idea.

Great selection of authentic goods, helpful staff. I told the lady what I was making and she basically did the shopping for me. She grabbed a basket and ran around to find all the ingredients I needed to make it, and it was everything I needed and it turned out great. And inexpensive too

It’s my favorite grocery store. Super friendly owners, fresh groceries and great price. I love it.

Criminally underrated, anything you cant normally find in a store I promise you they have it. Ginger is the best price I have ever seen in the state of Alabama. Fantastic place if youre looking for ingredients to make soup especially on a cold day. You name it, I promise you they have it. I am making this a regular place to shop in Birmingham because it has literally everything I need.UPDATE on review since I did not expect to get as many views as it has, I very strongly disagree with the person claiming they are “overrated”, if you look at his reviews they are based out of California and in truth doesn’t understand that this store is great for people living in Alabama, not California where there is many many many stores that cater to those looking for those spices. There are relatively few in the state of Alabama as a whole and this is why I standby my review. They offer many products that are otherwise pretty hard to find or obtain and they are affordable especially to University Students who already are paying for a great number of other things.Great store, don’t listen to the negativity.

The samosas here are really good and Im glad they had several grocery items on discount to save me money. The store can be easy to miss if youre not paying attention. Its entrance is exactly on the corner of 22nd and 7th right beside the Thai restaurant.

The place does not exist anymore it’s been destroyed completely don’t know when it will be rebuilt and the place will be available again but for now the place does not exist save the trip and your gas

Chais always has a great selection of hard to find ingredients. Ive been many times and Ive always come away happy. The staff really helps those of us novice to Asian fare. The produce selection is surprisingly great and the service is wonderful.

Great grocery store. I always enjoy my chai market run. I definitely recommend this place.

Love this place. I can get all of my Indian spices and all sorts of frozen meats and dairy products.

Great variety of Asian and Indian products. Owner is friendly and helpful.

Their selection is top-notch (many things I cant find at other stores near Five Points), very fairly priced, and the owner and his wife are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I will be returning regularly!

After searching for ingredients to make pho, I happened upon this place and my search was over. Everything I needed, and a friendly helper to assist me. I even found ingredients I needed for an Indian curry and a Brasilian dish (Im a multicultural cook!).Ill definitely be back!

Its convenient, right by UAB. You can find different foods like Chinese broccoli, instant Thai noodles (like Ramen but better), big bags of rice. They do accept EBT cards. Also a respectable wine selection, cold drinks, cigarettes.

Lovely owners. They are always very helpful & have fresh ingredients ❤️

Nice small Asian/Indian market. Decent selection and very good prices.

Very helpful owners! I found everything I needed, and they pointed me to items of interest.

Good hospitality, very helpful and polite, needed items to make massamon Curry and they helped me find them, they had everything I needed.

Great place for authentic groceries from other countries. Super nice people with great prices!

Clean and convenient with variety of options for all American, African, Chinese, Thai and South Asian food.

Got jaggery from here, was terrified to see roaches in the jaggery. Went back to store check other jaggery packs all had roaches in it. Will think twice to go now to this store.

Love all the different products they have, i just wish i knew how to use everything

A great place to go for different kinds of spices and meat, veggies

Awesome product selection and friendly staff.

Not that big of a selection, but nice folks

A little expensive place, but the only Indian store near UAB ! If the prices are any cheap, it would attract alot of Indian crowd

A great place to shop for healthy groceries. Not a large store, but specialize in Asian, African, and some Latan American food kinds.

Great location and a wide variety of asian products.

Customer service is great. Availability of ethnic foods

I love the chai market. Rajana and sayud are awesome people, and Rajana gave me some south Asian food she personally made (as a gift) when she found out I am interested in that cuisine. This is definitely a place to check out and frequent, the people and service is stellar.

Great location for Indian foods very close to the campus with great prices too. The owners are really nice and helpful and try to get any special products that you may order. Some products that are available elsewhere may not be always found here but thats ok. Their kimchi is great!Oh, this place has Chitales Bakarwadi!

Great place, friendly owners, cool and unique products.

Great Service AND clean store
